I Should have just conned her! Life lessons from That Winter
Yes, Soo you should have just conned her. You really failed to achieve your goal with this one. Dedication! Where was your dedication! Aish! In related ramblings…That Winter the Wind Blows will end its 16 episode run next week. It amazes me that we are already at the finish line; it feels like just yesterday … Continue reading
All Hail the Panda Hat: Flower Boy Next Door Review & Life Lessons
Wow. Good ending. I could have used this feeling two episodes ago-when a certain cliffhanger made me feel like I saw someone step on a puppy. Flower Boy Next Door ended its run today. As with the show’s sister dramas in the Oh! Boy series the finale was far from disappointing. An element of fan … Continue reading
Time Jumping Shenanigans…or Life Lessons from Queen In Hyun’s Man
How I enjoyed this weekend. My plate was thankfully empty, empty enough to revel in the hours that accommodated a marathon of Queen In Hyun’s Man. I was mesmerized by my first watching of QIHM, I am proud to admit that the second time through I found myself equally enthralled. In the spirit of experiencing … Continue reading
Home Security and Pinterest: Or Life Lessons from I Miss You
If there is one thing I learned from this drama it is to invest in the stock of tissue makers. Because everyone cries at least fifteen times a day, more on anniversaries of things (like kidnappings and such). Henceforth are the preciously snarky gems of wisdom I gained from the melodramatic tear fest I Miss … Continue reading
Long Live the King…or Life Lessons from The King of Dramas
Meta drama wonderful. Words I would use to describe The King of Dramas, SBS’s currently airing romantic comedy. This week The KOD reached the episode 17 mark. Before episode 18 gives us whatever episode 18 is offering (and it better be good or my pitchfork is coming out) let’s reflect on what we have learned … Continue reading
95 Reasons to Appreciate Korean Drama…or My Favorite Cliches from Drama Land
1. Jeju Island should be visited at least once a month (and always at a critical point in a relationship / emotional issue) 2. Wear heels. Always. 3. There are three things they test for on Korean driving examinations: pulling to the side of the road quickly, making a u-turn, and running over pedestrians. 4. … Continue reading
How to be a nice guy (or avoid it all together)…or Life Lessons from The K-Drama Nice Guy
Nice Guy- how you made me laugh and cry. A well paced story of betrayal, lust, lost love, and heart ache interspersed with randomly hanging cell phone calls and an overabundance of product placement this drama taught me mostly what not to do if I want to avoid the whole eternal punishment thing. I created … Continue reading
Goat Flowers Huh…or Life Lessons from Arang and the Magistrate
Arang and the Magistrate-how I will miss you. A well executed fusion that brought great characters and good writing to a fulfilling conclusion is something that will be hard to let go. And the magistrate was very nice to look at. Very nice. As I choke back my sobs of drama-end-sorrow I think it is … Continue reading
It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta…or Life Lessons from Haeundae Lovers
Oh Haeundae Lover’s- you bring the cute and the funny in an adorable package of cutarity (yeah- I just made up a word. Got a problem with that?). I learned so much from watching Uncle Hello Kitty chop up fish, so much I feel like opening up a fishery in Busan. Henceforth are the precious … Continue reading
